Abstract: The invention presents a synchronization technique, operative in a navigation receiver under multipath interference, that takes into account low signal-to-noise ratio, DS-CDMA signals with long spreading codes, and very low data rates, introducing the signal model of a deterministic antenna array (A1 to Am). In this context, the system-specific features translate into the assumption that all times of arrival must be inside a delay interval in which a truncated series approximation of the reference signal is valid. The introduction of this series into the signal model leads to an implementation based on a bank of correlators. The minimization problem associated to the estimation is solved by use of an appropriate minimization algorithm, preferably ESPRIT, IQML and a modification of Newton's Method. The latter calculates the Maximum Likelihood estimation with a low computational burden. Particularly, the method according to the invention is useful in GPS and GNSS receivers. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A specific number of adjacent pixels are combined into blocks. The tone values of the pixels in a target block are detected when the dot on-off state is determined, and the fact that the target block does or does not satisfy specific processing conditions is confirmed based on the relation between the magnitudes of the tone values thus detected. The dot on-off state is determined for the target block in block units if the target block satisfies the processing conditions. The conversion procedure can be rapidly performed by adopting this approach. The dot on-off state is determined for the pixels of the target block if the processing conditions are not satisfied. Image quality is thereby prevented from being adversely affected. Image quality can thus be preserved and image data rapidly converted to a specific expression format based on the dot on-off state by performing the conversion procedure in accordance with an appropriate method selected based on whether the processing conditions are satisfied. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A guide for a multi-link endless chain of a track-type undercarriage, especially for cranes, has an undercarriage support, at least one drive sprocket wheel provided with chain teeth, possibly an idler, and several track rollers. Each chain link of the endless chain has two guide webs which are symmetric to the center, spaced a certain distance apart, and extend in the travel direction. The webs have engaging surfaces which ride on opposed circumferential flanges on the drive sprocket wheel. A cog connects the two webs below the engaging surfaces and meshes with the chain teeth of the drive sprocket wheel. The guide has two parallel rails oriented in the travel direction of the endless chain, the inside surfaces of the rails coming to rest against the outside surfaces of the associated guide webs when the guide function is occurring. The guide is a compact pivoting part which is installed immediately in front of or behind the drive sprocket wheel, mounted in a frame part of the undercarriage support, and has two elongated web plates to serve as rails. When the pivoting part is in its working position, the rails are at least level with of the upper area of the guide webs of the individual chain links.

Abstract: The invention relates to a franking machine, comprising a print head of an ink-jet printing mechanism for printing flat postal items such as letters or postcards, which can be introduced into said mechanism or which pass through the same. Said franking machine consists of a guiding part which is located around the print head and projects in relation to the nozzle opening plane of said print head, and with which a conveying device is associated, said conveying device transporting the postal items between itself and conveying rollers lying opposite and rotating about axes that are located crosswise to the conveying direction. Said conveying device has two drive-connected driving rollers which together with the guiding part, form a path of travel. The driving rollers are located in front of and behind the print head in relation to the conveying direction. A reversibly liftable counter pressure roller located opposite exerts a pressure on each driving roller, respectively, or on a postal item being transported in-between. A roller feeler (39, 119) which is driven by the passing postal item and which is associated with an encoder device (122) is located between the driving rollers (13, 15; 127, 113) in order to monitor the speed and position of a postal item being transported or for controlling the pressure on a postal item.

Abstract: A silicon-germanium bipolar transistor includes a silicon substrate in which a first n-doped emitter region, a second p-doped base region adjoining the latter and a third n-doped collector region adjoining the latter, are formed. A first space charge zone is formed between the emitter region and the base region and a second space charge zone is formed between the base region and the collector region. The base region and an edge zone of the adjoining emitter region are alloyed with germanium. The germanium concentration in the emitter region rises toward the base region. The germanium concentration in a junction region containing the first space charge zone rises less sharply than in the emitter region or decreases and, in the base region, it initially again rises more sharply than in the junction region.

Abstract: A spectrographic analysis method which is photometric and non-contact for determining the presence of a chosen constituent in water is provided based on the fact that the inverse of reflectance is a measure of absorption. A full spectrum measurement of the reflectance of the water is made and an absorption spectrum calculated which is then fitted to a clear spectrum in a wavelength range where the water absorption dominates so as to have scaling and offset. Then the clear water spectrum is subtracted and a matching is repeated for the spectrum of the desired constituent and thus a measure of the concentration of the constituent in the water is obtained.

Abstract: Improved air embossing systems, improved air lances, and improved methods of air embossing fabrics, which are able to produce an unprecedented level of fine detail, crisp transition between unembossed and embossed regions, lack of undesired embossing artifacts, and a high degree of uniformity across the width of an embossed fabric, when compared to the performance of typical, conventional air embossing systems are disclosed. The disclosed air embossing systems utilize generally cylindrical, rotating stencils with air lances positioned therein for directing a stream of air through apertures in the stencil and onto the embossable surface of a fabric. The systems also include at least one stencil stabilizer that is constructed and positioned within the system to apply a force to the stencil during operation that is sufficient to reduce, and preferably essentially eliminate, variations in the distance separating the surface of a fabric being embossed by the system and the portion of the fabric-facing surface of the stencil directly adjacent thereto during rotation of the stencil.
